Was wondering is it just me or has anyone noticed that gas prices go up in the summer and then start to decrease a little late fall early winter and then rise again once the weather starts to get good

My wife and I have seen a distinct pattern of gas prices spiking a few days before a holiday and also on Wednesday through the weekend, dropping a few cents Monday afternoon. We've also noticed that if something happens say in Africa or Iran that the prices seem hard wired to a panic button pointing up The oil honchos always warn us that Summer is peak demand time with all the vacation driving, Winter is high demand time because of a cold weather and heating oil production Certainly seems like a game where the consumer is always on the bend over side. But those big honchos always fall back on "That's the life of Oil futures speculation!"

certain you could. each and each and every of the gas offered for automobile use interior the U. S. is unleaded. see you later as you're utilising gas that has the octane score cautioned on your vehicle or more advantageous you'd be ok. even if, by using utilising more advantageous octane gas you gained't observe any reward. surely, the better the octane, the slower the gas burns, that's possible that your gas mileage will drop extremely and also you're paying extra in line with gallon. Use the bottom octane gas you could, without going lower than the manufacturers concepts.

yes it does it is a function of supply and demand, people drive more in warm months, causing a spike in demand!
